The excellent thermal management, abundance, biodegradability, high mechanical strength, low mass density, and manufacturing scalability of the nanowood make this material ... They also have ...

A team of researchers searching for safe ... previous transparent “wood” designs that sacrifice some biodegradability for strength by including certain types of plastics, the team said its ...

The lignin also contains molecules called chromophores, which give the wood its brown colour and prevent light from passing through. Early attempts to make transparent wood involved removing the ...

“The transparent wood is lighter and stronger than glass. It could be used for load-bearing windows and roofs,” says Hu. “It can be potentially used to make a see-through house.” Receive a ...

"[Previous examples of transparent wood are] very hard to synthesise, hard to make and you spend a lot of time and energy and money to make those, so that's why we thought about creating something ...

Transparent wood could ... or using different species of wood. The work was presented at a meeting of the American Chemical Society. Light has been made into a fluid that simulates space-time ...

The booth is called "Swab Assurance For Everyone" or SG SAFE in short. It is basically a foldable three-panel transparent booth that comes fitted with a pair of biosafety level 3 gloves.
